I have started taking Klonopin .25mg at night for about a week now and instituted .25mg in the morning but I am also on Effexor XR. I will eliminate the Effexor. The other worry is addiction to Klonopin, but I guess if I need it than I will have to deal with it a later date. Thanks, for the information and support. Best wishes and happy holidays to all.
